Lamborghini has widened the rear track, fitted a massive 10-way adjustable spoiler, and eliminated the four-wheel-drive system found in the standard production model.

Lamborghini is inviting trouble with the new Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo racing car. Created specifically for the Italian automaker’s one-make racing series, this new track-focused Huracan has one key item missing from its spec sheet: the production model’s four-wheel-drive system.

With a 620-horsepower V-10 mounted behind the cabin, this mid-engine racing machine could prove a challenge to anyone accustomed to the extra grip and stability provided by AWD. Then again, with its huge downforce-enhancing wings and spoilers, not to mention gummy Pirelli race tires (308/660-18 at the front, 315/680-18 at the rear), this Lambo isn’t going to give up its purchase on the asphalt all that easily.

Downforce has actually been increased by 43 percent, according to Automobili Lamborghini, thanks partly to the composite bodywork that was co-developed with Italy’s Dallara Engineering, a specialist in building racing cars. The rear wing has 10 available settings, and the front brake duct openings are adjustable.

Weight has also been trimmed, and the Huracan Super Trofeo features a roll-cage that weighs a scant 95 lbs. The dry weight of the car is 2,794 lbs., which is exactly 341 lbs. lighter than the Huracan LP 610-4 road car.

Under the sharply creased body is the 5.2-liter V-10 we’ve already come to know (and love), along with a new 6-speed XTrac sequential gearbox and three-disc clutch. The steering has an electric power pump, and the roll-bars and Ohlins dampers can also be adjusted to suit a driver’s needs, or the demands of a specific track.

Slightly more powerful and hundreds of pounds lighter than the street-legal variant, the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo is a more focused racing version of an already extreme supercar.

Even the traction control system – yes, it’s still present on this racing Lambo – has a whopping 12 settings, all of which can be selected by the driver via steering wheel-mounted controls.

It sounds fantastic, and looks amazing. So where do we sign up? Easy tiger, the price hasn’t been confirmed, but we’d expect a near doubling of the $230,000 (or thereabouts) that you’d pay for the regular street-legal Huracan.
